Using bold colors and designs based on the Haida and Tlingit styles of art, Laurie Holman, who lives and teaches art in Alaska, presents us with various animal totems featured in traditional Alaska stories: the Raven, Grizzly Bear, Salmon, Eagle and Whale. "I wanted them to cover the entire Pony, like a puzzle, with all the pieces telling the great story of life, death and rebirth. Release Date: Summer 2006 Material: Resin - Size: 7" Tall Form: Walking - Retired: January 2010 No. 12250 Boot Camp: 1st Edition / 5,103 A cowboy's best friends are his horse and saddle, a rope, a hat and a comfortable pair of boots. But, boy howdy, when it comes to Painted Ponies you can forget the plain, clunky, brown and black working cowboy boot. Banishing the traditional "high heels of the range" from her imagination, Idaho wildlife artist Maria Ryan created a colorful tribute to the cowboy boot mystique when she bedecked and bedazzled her Pony with an outrageous collection of western fashion footwear and let him kick up his heels. Release Date: Summer 2007 - Artist: Maria Ryan Material: Resin - Size: 7" Tall Form: Running - Retired: July 2009 No. 12263 DREAMWALKER: 1st Edition / 1,224 Drawing on his Cherokee heritage, this Arizona artist, whose large, spiritually powerful portraits of Native American warriors are coveted by museums, has created a visual interpretation of the traditional tale of the Dreamwalker. It is a story about a medicine man who is told in a vision that "the discovery of power will come through the ways of animals." Shortly thereafter, he sets out on a trek across the Great Plains to the East, where Illumination lives. He carries a pipe with him, has many encounters and draws on the powers of a medicine wheel. Near the end of his journey he is greeted by a White Stallion, who tells him the secret of "true power" is compassion, caring and sharing one's gift with others. Ben lives in Sedona, Arizona. The original Masterwork of Dreamwalker was selected as a finalist in the Native Art of Horse Painting national competition. Release Date: Winter 2008 - Artist: Ben Wright Material: Resin - Size: 7" Tall Form: Walking - Retired: January 2010 No. 12273 Stagecoach: 1st Edition / 4,511 Relive the days of overland stagecoach travel in the Old West with a Painted Pony that captures a dramatic and symbolic moment in frontier history! Throughout most of the 1800s, stagecoaches were a primary means of transportation across the American West. They hauled passengers, mail and freight over vast, treeless plains, jagged mountain passes, scorching deserts and rivers cursed with quicksand. To capture the iconic character of the stagecoach, this artist formerly with National Geographic Magazine's Art Division imagined a horse-drawn stagecoach running from danger attacking Indians or outlaw robbers down a dusty trail, silhouetted against a sunset sky All her life this young Canadian artist wanted to work in the art field, an ambition that was fulfilled when she was hired as an illustrator for National Geographic Magazine. Release Date: Summer 2008 - Artist: Johanna Enriquez Material: Resin - Size: 7" Tall Form: Running - Retired: December 2009 No. 12277 Rolling Thunder: 1st Edition / 4,229 Rolling Thunder hearkens back to a time of big skies and fierce storms, of thundering herds of bison large enough to shake the earth beyond the horizon, and of Plains Indians and their spirited, sure-footed and courageous horses trained to carry bow-bearing braves through the stampeding confusion of a bison hunt. Only an artist who has called Oklahoma home her entire life, and who has seen with her own eyes the way darkening skies can be splintered with lightning bolts that seem to outline a rumbling "sky herd" of buffalo, could have created this masterful homage to the "buffalo ponies." This small-town Oklahoma artist is a big-time talent with a range of subject matter that is truly all-American. Release Date: Summer 2008 - Artist: Aloma Wolfington Material: Resin - Size: 7" Tall Form: Walking - Retired: July 2011 No. 12278 – Sundancer: 1st Edition / 4,620 The Sun Dance was the most spectacular and important religious ceremony of the Plains Indians of the 19th century. It was designed to bring renewal ? the spiritual rebirth of its participants, harmony between all living beings, and the return of the all-important buffalo. Incorporating many of the sacred materials and symbolic elements of the Sun Dance ceremony into her design? a sage noseband, pictograph horses traveling from each of the four sacred directions, a white buffalo skull, a war bonnet sun graphic ? this Montana graphic artist has created a Pony that represents the essence of the Sun Dance: renewal and balance, and the reaffirmation of relationships between people and nature. For thirty years this versatile Minnesota artist made a living as an illustrator and graphic artist, before expanding to include oil painting, woodcarving and Pony painting. Release Date: Summer 2008 - Artist: Joyce Kennedy Material: Resin - Size: 7" Tall Form: Walking - Retired: December 2009 No. 12279 KACHINA PONY: 1st Edition / No. 4,366 Kachinas are stylized religious icons, meticulously carved from cottonwood roots and painted to represent figures from Hopi mythology. They often wear masks of animals, plants, stars, warriors and clowns. They are the focus of ceremonies and rituals in which they relay the wishes of the Hopi people to the gods? for more rain, a plentiful harvest, good health. In an effort to create a Painted Pony with mystical powers of its own, this colorist from Idaho has adorned her Pony with the designs and symbols of traditional kachina masks, including, on the left side, the Sun Kachina mask, and on the right, the Messenger of the Gods mask. This Idaho artist has established a national reputation for her brilliant interpretations of wildlife and Native American imagery. Release Date: Summer 2008, Artist: Maria Ryan Material: Resin - Size: 7" Tall Form: Runnng - Retired: July 2011 No. 12280 RUNS THE BITTERROOT: 1E/4,707 The Native Americans' admiration for the horse took many forms. A favored horse dressed for ceremony or war would often be adorned with striking regalia, as well as painted. The beauty and mystery of the Indian horse mask as the emblem of a warrior Pony is captured with great power by an Oklahoma historian/artist in this masterful tribute to Chief Joseph. The legendary leader of the Nez Perce, who is credited with the successful breeding of the Appaloosa, is remembered for his principled resistance to the forced removal of the Nez Perce from their Idaho homelands. Chief Joseph's surrender speech, in which he said "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever," immortalized him in American history and popular culture. What this gifted Oklahoma artist may lack in formal training he more than makes up for with his rich and detailed knowledge of the American West, and an extraordinary talent for authentically capturing its history in both art and craft.
